Default Road Glide Monkey Bars - What do you think?

Been considering these bars from Yaffe. They are 9" rise and 32" wide. Not sure of the pullback.
They are also ridiculous in price at $334! Bars have gotten expensive!! They look like they might provide some nice comfort along with the looks. They look like the Z bars that Flanders offers but with a little more bend in them........Bars will be for a RG also.......

looks great but I wouldn't spend that type of coin on them. You could probably have some made for less.
